The Chicago Blackhawks are set to take on the New Jersey Devils at the United Center tonight, marking an important game for both teams as they navigate their respective divisions. The Blackhawks (9-18-2), currently struggling in the Central Division, will be looking to build momentum after snapping a seven-game losing streak with a strong performance against the Philadelphia Flyers just last week.
